Cambridge Consultants have developed XylemDx – a diagnostic test cartridge that can be customised and printed on site using inkjet printer technology to lay down layers of microfluidic channels, electronics and reagents. The cartridges can handle a range of samples – such as blood, urine, saliva or mucus – and test for anything from the latest strain of the flu virus to specific biomarkers for genetic heart conditions.
